Seeing that I appeared as if I had taken a hit, Hunter felt somewhat hesitant.
Before he could extend his hand, Tatiana quickly said, “Blythe, even though I am the true victim, I never considered making Caleb jump off a building.”
“How about this, I’ll upload an explanation online and take it as my apology.”
Tatiana spoke as though she were the one who had been wronged.
Thinking of my brother, who was still receiving emergency treatment, I held back my anger and decided to let Tatiana explain first.
I watched Tatiana use her phone for a short moment, then set the so-called clarification statement before me.
With just one look, anger rose fast in my chest.
[Today I went out with Brother Hunter to take a break, and did not expect to be confronted by Caleb’s sister. Here, I sincerely ask everyone not to continue talking about the matter of Caleb violating me earlier. Let this matter go, just regard it as my fault.]
That clarification released by Tatiana did not mention at all that my brother had been forced to leap off a building, nor did it speak of the truth.
Instead, she presented herself as an innocent little girl who had been pressured.
The moment this “clarification” message was posted, the comments underneath were all netizens expressing sympathy for Tatiana.
Some even said that I had threatened Tatiana, bullied the victim, and that they wanted to send wreaths to my brother!
Seeing this, the anger in my heart could no longer be suppressed.
I lifted my hand high and slapped Tatiana hard across her cheek.
In the next moment, Hunter immediately seized my wrist and shoved me down.
His eyes showed clear anger, and when he spoke, it was a harsh scolding.
“Enough! Blythe, are you done going crazy? Has Tatiana not already explained everything?”
Watching how he was protecting Blythe on his face, my heart trembled.
That kind of warmth, after I married Hunter, had always been given to me.
My eyes gathered burning tears, almost spilling out.
Right then, my phone suddenly rang.
“Is this Mrs. Massimo? Your younger brother woke up briefly. He cut his wrists and tried to commit suicide….” The doctor spoke with deep regret.
“What?” My eyes opened wide in fear, unable to believe what I had just heard.
“Your younger brother had already been saved, but after waking up, he checked his phone and saw people online had begun making fun of him. Some even found his hospital room and sent funeral wreaths. He may not have been able to handle it, so he chose to try to end his life again……”
With a dull crack, the phone slipped from my fingers.
My eyes burned red as if bleeding, and the look I gave Tatiana and the others carried nothing but hatred.
Right then, I clearly noticed Tatiana behind Hunter, covering her mouth while laughing.
In that second, my self-control broke.
I suddenly seized a wine bottle from the table and smashed it straight at her.
With a heavy crash, the bottle broke apart.
Tatiana cried out and ran toward Hunter, who stepped in front of her.
“How can you lay hands on Hunter?”
“I already helped clear things up for your brother. What else do you want? If it comes to it, I’ll die to make up for it. Is that enough?”
As she spoke, she suddenly ran toward the window.
Hunter did not even bother wiping the blood covering his head. He quickly dragged Tatiana back, then stared at me with anger.
“Blythe, how far are you planning to push Tatiana? You forced the victim to explain herself, and she already did.”
“At first, I still felt some guilt toward your brother, but now it seems he fully deserved it!”
“He was the one who went after Tatiana. I only put what he did online. He chose to end his life because he couldn’t handle the mental pressure. Why are you blaming Tatiana?”
Tatiana hid in his arms, crying softly like flowers soaked by rain, making it seem I was the culprit who had torn apart this unlucky couple.
“Hunter, please stop talking. As long as you’re safe, and as long as Blythe can forgive me, I will accept anything.”
Hunter watched her with pain and softness, holding her even more tightly.
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep you safe. You were the one who was hurt from the start. No one is allowed to cross me and harm you.”
Without noticing, a tear slid down from my eye, and my heart felt so empty it scared me.
Those exact words had once been spoken to me by Hunter, too.
After marriage, whenever someone tried to make things hard for me, he would always stand in front of me right away.
Everyone didn’t believe that the former Playboy would truly change, yet Hunter did it.
I once believed Hunter’s promise would last forever, but now it seemed it only lasted for three brief years.
I drew in a deep breath, pulled the divorce agreement from my bag, and spoke firmly, “Hunter, let’s get a divorce.”
